Model and Four-Output Configuration
| Complete model |
QP-320D |
| Output rails |
CH1 5 V, CH2 12 V, CH3 24 V, CH4 -12 V |
| Rated combined output |
316 W across all four channels |
| Channel loading |
Use the specified current ranges, combined-power limit and applicable input/temperature derating together. |
The complete suffix identifies the output-voltage combination. Negative outputs retain their listed polarity relative to COM; current values are load-current magnitudes. The four channels form one power supply, not four independently rated supplies. The series number is not the exact rated combined power of every model.
Four-Channel Electrical Specifications
| CH1 voltage and current |
5 V DC; rated current 20 A; continuous current range 2.5–20 A. |
| CH1 ripple and regulation |
Maximum ripple/noise 100 mVp-p; voltage tolerance ±3.0%; line regulation ±1.0%; load regulation ±2.0%. |
| CH2 voltage and current |
12 V DC; rated current 10 A; continuous current range 0–10 A. |
| CH2 ripple and regulation |
Maximum ripple/noise 150 mVp-p; voltage tolerance ±3.0%; line regulation ±2.0%; load regulation ±3.0%. |
| CH3 voltage and current |
24 V DC; rated current 3 A; continuous current range 0.2–5 A. |
| CH3 ripple and regulation |
Maximum ripple/noise 150 mVp-p; voltage tolerance +10/-6%; line regulation ±2.0%; load regulation ±6.0%. |

| CH1 / CH2 voltage adjustment |
CH1 4.75–5.5 V; CH2 11.4–13.2 V, corresponding to −5%/+10% of nominal voltage. |
| Typical efficiency |
83% at the catalogue reference conditions. |
Unless otherwise stated, specifications use 230 VAC input, rated load and 25°C ambient. Voltage tolerance includes setup tolerance, line regulation and load regulation. Ripple/noise is measured at 20 MHz bandwidth using a 12-inch twisted pair terminated with parallel 0.1 µF and 47 µF capacitors.
Keep the normal combined load within the model total-power rating. Each output maximum is a channel limit, not permission to load all channels to their individual maximum currents simultaneously. The stated CH1 and CH2 adjustment and sense functions do not make their outputs exempt from these limits.
Conditional CH3 Peak-Current Capability
| Peak-current row |
CH1 20 A, CH2 10 A, CH3 20 A, CH4 2 A |
| CH3 peak duration / repetition |
CH3 at nominal 24 V: 20 A for no more than 1 ms, repeatable every 100 ms. |
| CH3 voltage during peak |
The 24 V output must remain above 16 V during the peak-current period. |
The 20 A figure is a short CH3 pulse capability, not a continuous current rating or a guarantee of regulated 24 V during that pulse. Apply the specified pulse duration, repetition and minimum pulse voltage together. Normal combined loading must not exceed the rated total output power; maximum individual channel currents are not simultaneous entitlements.
Input, PFC and Timing
| Input / frequency |
90–264 VAC, universal full range; 127–370 VDC. AC frequency 47–63 Hz. |
| Power factor, typical |
Active PFC: PF >0.95 at 230 VAC and >0.98 at 115 VAC, full load. |
| Typical input current |
4 A at 115 VAC; 2 A at 230 VAC. |
| Inrush / leakage |
Typical inrush 25 A at 115 VAC / 45 A at 230 VAC; leakage <2 mA at 240 VAC. |
| Setup / rise time |
800 ms / 50 ms at 230 VAC; 3000 ms / 50 ms at 115 VAC, full load. |
| Typical hold-up time |
16 ms at full load. |
| Switching frequency |
100 kHz as shown in the block diagram. |
The timing and inrush entries without separately labelled input voltages retain the general catalogue reference conditions; do not infer an additional unprinted input-voltage test.
Protection and Signal Availability
| Short circuit / overload |
Short-circuit protection is listed. Overload threshold is 105–150% of rated output power; foldback current limiting, automatically recovering after the fault is removed. |
| Over-voltage |
CH1 5.75–6.75 V; CH2 13.8–16.2 V. Output shuts down; re-power to recover. |
| Over-temperature |
Output shuts down and automatically recovers after temperature decreases. |
| Power good / power fail |
PG/PF signal output is listed: 10 ms / 1 ms. |
PG/PF uses CN2 pin 5 with pin 6 GND. These pages do not specify its voltage levels, polarity or current capability; verify the signal-interface details before connection rather than applying TTL or relay ratings from another series.
The protection thresholds describe fault response, not an unrestricted higher output-power operating mode.
Cooling and Derating
| Cooling / working temperature |
Built-in DC fan with forced-air cooling; −10 to +70°C ambient, subject to derating. |
| Horizontal thermal curve |
100% load from −10 through +50°C; derate to 40% at +70°C. |
| Input-voltage curve at 60 Hz |
80% load at 90 VAC, rising to the plotted plateau at 105 VAC. The plateau remains below the 100% tick through 264 VAC; use the actual curve for the allowable load. |
| High-altitude adjustment |
Above 2000 m, reduce the allowable ambient temperature by 5°C for each additional 1000 m for this fan-cooled design. |
Apply temperature and input-voltage derating together with all channel and total-power limits. Keep the illustrated upward airflow path unobstructed. The upper working temperature is not a full-load temperature rating. The altitude note does not state a separate maximum operating altitude.
Use the QP-320 curve for this model; the lower-power QP families have different thermal and low-line limits.
Power Terminals and Remote Sense
| AC input / earth |
Terminal 1 = AC/L; 2 = AC/N; 3 = FG protective earth. |
| DC output terminals |
4 = V4 (CH4); 5 = V3 (CH3); 6 = V1 (CH1); 7 and 8 = output COM; 9 = V2 (CH2). |
| CH1 sense pair |
CN2 pin 1 = V1(+S); pin 2 = V1(−S). |
| CH2 sense pair |
CN2 pin 3 = V2(+S); pin 4 = V2(−S). |
| Signal pins |
CN2 pin 5 = PF/PG; pin 6 = GND. |
Remote sense is provided for CH1 and CH2 only. Match each sense pair to its corresponding output and load return, using the actual connection arrangement. The catalogue pages do not quantify a compensation-voltage limit or show default sense jumpers, so neither is assumed here. Sense and signal pins are not load-current output terminals.
The two COM power terminals share the output reference; they are not additional output channels. Use the complete mechanical drawing for terminal orientation. No remote ON/OFF, programmable current or parallel-sharing interface is established by these pages.
Connector References and Installation
| CN2 board connector |
JST S6B-XH-A-1 or equivalent. |
| Mating housing as printed |
JST XHP or equivalent; the catalogue does not print a complete pin-count/order suffix. |
| Crimp contact |
JST SXH-001T-P0.6 or equivalent. |
| Selection / supply boundary |
Confirm the full compatible housing code, contact and wire specification before ordering. These printed references do not establish that mating housings, contacts or a harness are included. |
The connector table gives an incomplete XHP housing designation; do not add a guessed suffix. The power-terminal assignments and CN2 control-pin assignments are separate. There is no separately specified mounting-kit or cable-kit order code in this section.

The weight is the explicit single-unit PACKING reference, not a measured bare net weight or the total carton mass. The main body dimensions and the mounting/terminal projections are separate measurements.
